photo upload graph.put_photo

[lucapinello]

I am not able to upload any photo with the put_photo method.

In the documentation the first parameter is the filename, while in the method it seems a file-like object.

Passing a file like object as a first paramter (called image) I recevice an unicode conversion error.

Any idea how to fix this?

Thanks

Which documentation is this? The method's docstring clearly states that it should be a Python file-like object. The official Graph API documentation states that the API endpoint (me/photos) needs multipart/form-data but the method takes care of converting this. Where is the reference to using filenames?

Passing a file like object as a first paramter (called image) I recevice an unicode conversion error.

Could you provide a traceback? The following code worked for me:

>>> import facebook
>>> graph = facebook.GraphAPI("[redacted access token]")
>>> graph.put_photo(open("test.jpg"), "this is a test upload...please feel free to ignore")
{u'post_id': u'1867_10100367232455011', u'id': u'10100367232430061'}

Hi Martey!
Thanks a lot for the quick answer.

Sorry I was confused from the Readme.md where I saw:

Photo uploads:

graph = facebook.GraphAPI(oauth_access_token)
tags = json.dumps([{'x':50, 'y':50, tag_uid:12345}, {'x':10, 'y':60,
tag_text:'a turtle'}])
graph.put_photo('img.jpg', 'Look at this cool photo!',
album_id_or_None, tags=tags)

You should update it to avoid confusion.

I will try with a file like object and I'll let you know.

Thanks again.
